Premium Member naked mattress
naked mattress the naked mattress seemed more abandoned than on nights gone by when european percale sheets lifted like a kite from the corners as though they had somewhere to go and struggled passionately to get there. the sagging mattress appeared cold— now that she looked at it from the way he had...

No More Regrets
Consider wiser not emotion We don't need to go back After separation has done Nothing to feel pawn again Feeling sorry will fix all Need new goals to follow Stock trust not to wander Return hug who mend your heart....

Pattie! With every breath I am a straight line from point A to B, An unwavering flame with dreams to be free. Like the sun’s ascent, relentless and bold, Or the sunset's glow, quiet but whole. Let me be me, let me breathe, let me rise. Following my dreams beneath shifting skies. Time’s fleeting touch whispers goodbye, Yet I...

Gateway to past regrets
I thought that I had matured enought to have the strenght within me To look and accept reality I thought I could look into the eyes of past and accept that it has passed Old camera i haven’t picked up in months is my only gateway to past regrets and memmories Vision blured with tears I can’t get past...

sometimes
Sometimes I fail, Sometimes I rot. Sometimes the weight consumes me, Sometimes it’s just a dot. I've found the courage to give up, But never the strength to ask why. Sometimes I know the truth too well, Yet sometimes—I lie. Sometimes the path is clear, Sometimes it’s all undone. Sometimes I try to speak, But the words choke on my tongue. Words are meant to be spoken, Let...

Quite a cumbersome ball and chain; Regrets are best left in the past. They engender headache and pain. Quite a cumbersome ball and chain. Don't keep them; there's nothing to gain. The sting of regret never lasts. Quite a cumbersome ball and chain; Regrets are best left in the past. ...

No regrets left
Are we living our life to the fullest? Or just covering layer between society. Days are less to take time out of saddest, No friends, no family then just plant a tree. Have great company all the time! Then why to show the world? That you are having nice sip of wine, Just creating delusion in your twirl. You are not present at...

beneath forgotten stars
Beneath Forgotten Stars In wakeful hours, I drink my thoughts, Letting mind and heart entwine in fraught Reflections of forgotten dreams, And roads that vanished with the streams. Regrets envelop me like a warm blanket, Comforting yet suffocating, a heavy burden to bear. Memories of what could have been, Haunt me still, like whispers in the wind. What if I...

Have you got a Grimore of Light Filled with Dark Regrets
A voice whispered at 1 am. As I sit alone at the worn gates of Yesterday Looking through the Past's White painted windows Unafraid Lost in deep thoughts as I watch once lost memories Drive past like a new presidential JFK motorcade Looking closely at the happy and sad games We once played You and me Eventually Holding...
